At least here in Canada, most “dollar stores” are actually “dollar and up” stores - i.e. they’re not advertising a price ceiling but a price floor. “Nothing cheaper than a dollar!” Srsly. I don’t get it, myself.

Here we have one chain that advertises “1 Euro” in big letters. Next to that it says “and up”. But even that is a lie. They sell stuff that costs less, too.

Or rather we used to have it here, because the one in my - ahem - emerging post-industrial city closed down. Yay, my city!
